Sorry to say it was old smelly damp Bach . Bedding etc very old , need to upgrade and take $200 and invest in new bedding etc at Kmart. I have used holiday houses over the years and this is the only one I would never recommend . ‘‘The bedroom “with bunks in it , is actually the laundry with bunks and for others’ staying have to walk though to get to the toilet and bathroom.

Wet wool carpet does have an odour as it dries.
The single beds do have good quality bedspreads and continental blankets on them.
The Queen bed has a duvet with cover.
The bedding is washed frequently.
The pillowcases are changed every time.
These guests did know to bring their own linen.
The bed setup was explained in the info sheet I sent them before they booked.
With the number of guests they said, they did not have to use the extra bunks .

We enjoyed our stay at this bach, good classic kiwi bach with everything you need for a comfortable stay, we have stayed here numerous times and the bach is looking great, love being close to the beach, very nice :)

My wife and my daughter have stayed here for the last 3 months, and have had no problems what so ever. The owners have gone above and beyond to help us with anything we need and location of the Bach and the batch itself are great.The garden has been a real joy to use and has kept our little one entertained with the trampoline and sandpit, etc....The place was clean and we love the retro style it has to offer, it is a very peaceful and tranquil place to stay, and we are very grateful to the owners for their hospitality.

We have deliberated over giving feedback on this place and now we've had the invitation we think it is fair that we make a comment.

I am afraid that we have to agree with many issues raised in the previous comment on this site. The bach is in a great location but is in serious need of a major clean. It's run down etc. like old baches are but there's no excuse for centimetres of dust and scunge and major weeds. We had to vacuum up dog hair etc. etc. when we got there. There is some over-promising - eg the 3rd bedroom is a set of bunks next to the washing machine on the way to the bathroom.

A mjor spirng clean would do wonders.

These people stayed at the end of December 2011, during our busy time, when I only have 2 hours between guests. During this time I do vacuum and dust, clean the kitchen and bathroom, while my husband mows the grass, disposes of rubbish and tidys outside.There is not a lot of time for extra gardening.
Before xmas we had earthquake repairs done, so a lot of the inside was repainted,we will repaint what they did not, during the coming year.
They also installed a logburner for us - this did create a lot of dust, which I kept finding in different places for a long time.
The bedrooms were not explained to them as they only booked for 2 adults and 2 children.

Great location but in need of a major Spring clean. We had to vacuum dog hair etc. before settling in.

The new woodburner is working well.
We have replaced the vacuum cleaner, because some guests broke it ,this one sucks well so dog owners should be able to clean up after their pets ( which is a condition of having them there) because I don't always have time to do a complete spring clean between guests, though I do do as much as possible.
Painting and maintenance is on going.
There is always more that we would like to do, and will continue to do, as time and finances allow.
